It looks like injury problems will really plague the Golden State Warriors throughout the 2025-26 season. After veteran big man Al Horford was forced out of Friday night's contest against the Minnesota Timberwolves due to calf tightness, the Warriors lost another veteran contributor to injury, with Seth Curry following in Horford's footsteps.
According to a report from ClutchPoints NBA insider Brett Siegel, Curry will not return to action for the Warriors on Friday night after feeling soreness in his left adductor. It's going to be even more difficult for the already shorthanded Warriors to pose much of a challenge against the Timberwolves as their players are dropping like flies.
Curry joins players like Horford, Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Jimmy Butler and Moses Moody among the absent players for the Warriors. They're falling apart in the West, and these injury problems aren't helping one bit.
Curry may not be a major rotation piece for the Dubs, but the offense and shooting he provides could be useful, especially considering how depleted the Warriors roster was on Friday. Before fouling out, he had only one rebound and one assist, going scoreless in seven minutes of play after missing two of his attempts from the field.
Warriors' depth continues to be tested
The good news is that the Warriors have depth at the guard positions, which should soften the blow of Curry's injury. They have players like De'Anthony Melton, Brandin Podziemski, Pat Spencer, Will Richard, Gary Payton II and two-way player LJ Cryer who are capable of giving head coach Steve Kerr some quality minutes.
These shorthanded warriors aren't giving up without a fight; At the time of writing, they had narrowed the Timberwolves' lead to single digits, 109–102. Can they ride on the energy of the Chase Center crowd and cruise to an unexpected victory?
